While you shower outdoor a coati passes you without even giving you a glance. Then you walk down the hill to the restaurant and are met by the most friendly and easy staff that have prepared a delicious breakfast.
Then imagine that you return to the restaurant at 6pm for a drink watching the sun sets and exchanges the days experiences with the other guests and the staff before enjoying a gourmet dinner prepared with many locally grown ingredients.
This is how your day is framed. What you do in between is up to you. Visit Corcovado on a guided tour is a must, enjoying the beach, talk a walk in the jungle at the Finca on your own or just lay in the hammock with a book.
It takes a 4x4 to reach the resort, but it's emphasizes the feeling of remoteness.
The only drawback is that you at some point have to leave. You just feel like you wants to return to the place and those people again. More

It’s basically in Corcovado, so can see just about any wildlife you’d see in the park, including 4 types of monkey, tapirs, all manner of lizard and spider. They have regular retreats, so check the website to see if there’s one you can join during your stay. Honestly, the food is to die for, which is incredible given the remote location (90 minutes into the jungle in a 4wd vehicle), and although you aren’t given menu options, they accommodate dietary restrictions and needs. It’s an incredible deal because you basically get gourmet meals included in the cost of your stay (if you choose that option at booking). Highly recommend the add-on hike with the tour guide on staff! She knows how to find all sorts of hidden critters you wouldn’t otherwise be able to spot, and is truly an expert at photographing them through the telescope. You can’t enter Corcovado alone anyways, but honestly if you were able to you’d have no idea how to spot everything a trained guide does! They have to receive a lot of education just to be a guide, so again- totally worth it! Also recommend the Thai massage if it’s offered when you’re there You can enjoy the beach every day, and...

You can enjoy the beach every day, and the staff will always let you know times of high & low tide - the current is strong at this beach so you can’t just take a dip any time.

I’ve been twice now- during the dry season in January, and then during July when it rains. I personally liked it more in July because I enjoy a good rainstorm, and there wasn’t a ton of dust on the ride to & from Puerto Jiminez because the road wasn’t dry.

The place is magical and 100% worth every minute of the adventure to arrive there; with 3% of the world’s biodiversity contained in Corcovado, it is truly a bucket list experience. Just sit in the quiet and observe the jungle; enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze and tropical weather, and let nature encompass you and heal you- body, mind, and spirit.

Also, prepare to meet really cool, interesting people from all over the world when you stay here! This place attracts the best folks. More

  Special place in the jungle!
You really feel in a movie...
The hosts are so nice. We got a room with amazing sea view. You see monekys and birds all... read more around.
Local food was excellent, also the guided tour and massage.
You feel in a retreat!
Make sure to book a room with full food package, worth it! Bring books with you and enjoy the jungle and the beach.

  This was a very special place that my husband and I found through a yoga retreat. This spot is for the adventurous. Once you arrive you are completely immersed in... read more nature. Very simple and rustic accommodations that cover all of your needs. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The food was spectacular, some of the best food I've eaten in Costa Rica and most of it is harvested locally from their gardens and food forest. Great remote location right next to corcovado national park and across the street from the ocean. Everyone there is so welcoming and accommodating to all of your needs. True rest and relaxation was experienced while we were there and time really seemed to slow down. Not a single detail was overlooked in the care and curation of the spaces, how they flow with nature, how they feel with the abundance of fruits and flowers, the music, the lighting, everything! We absolutely loved staying at Finca Exotica the owners are true stewards of the land. We are looking forward to when we can return again to the heart of the jungle for another truly authentic Costa Rican Experience.

  I don't think words are sufficient to describe Finca Exotica. The staff is exceptional, the concept is magical, the food is especially fine. If you have to have... read more air conditioning and hot showers, please go somewhere else. If you prefer interaction with interesting folks, appreciate being treated as a true guest rather than a customer, and being given access to the wonders of the Osa Peninsula, you'll love this experience. We will return next year when the snow piles up and we're itching for another trip to the peninsula. Thanks again to your wonderful staff.

  This place is very special. Like Robinson Crusoe you are living in a tropical forest, sharing life and sleep wth the birds, the sea, the monkeys and the... read more amazing flowers. You can’t get closer to nature than that, while sleeping in high quality bed sheets and beautifully designed cabins. The people working at the lodge are all on an equal footing, From the owner to the yoga teacher, the cook and the waiters. The philosophy is great. The food is super healthy and original. But if you want some sweets or salty, bring some snacks. I would return tomorrow and I’ll never forget it!

  This is a very warm recommendation for Finca Exotica! We stayed in the lodge for 4 nights and had a wonderful time!
The wood cabin we stayed in is... read more an open structure that keeps you a part of the jungle. We loved it, and felt we had a lot of privacy. The cabin has a large and very comfortable double bed, covered by a mosquito net, and also a private bathroom and (cold) shower. While staying there we got visits from a coati, monkeys and Scarlett Macaws that are abundant in the place.
The restaurant area is beautiful and has a wonderful view to the jungle and beach. Sitting there just makes you feel peaceful. The great food contains mainly fresh ingredients from the garden and area.
There is also a beautiful yoga deck in the place with a spartacular view, and great yoga classes given by Mauricio.
This is an ideal starting point for tours in Corcovado. We were a bit afraid of the road from Puerto Jimenez to Carate because of the river crossings, since we visited the place in July (rainy season), but apparently there are some brand new bridges on most of them, so it was not a problem. However the road is not paved so 4x4 is needed.
We highly recommend Finca Exotica which is the ultimate escape to nature, especially in these crazy days.
